maf is located a few inches behind the main air intake box and is a small rectangular unit sitting in the air duct going to the throttle body. If the sensor surface is wet or not working your car will idle bad.
as for the purge solenoid i have never heard of that b4 so i need to look into it.

This sounds very similar to what happened to me when my alternator died... My lights would cut in and out like the car was dying, then when I would turn the car off, the car was completely dead. Switched out the alternator and haven't had a problem.

Having this issue now as well. Car sat for 4-6 months while I was out of country, when I came home and started it, the alt was seized and snapped the belt. I replaced the alternator and put in a new battery. Car drives fine until I am braking and coming to a stop, when it will then drop to ~6-800 rpm, dash lights flicker and then stall out. Occasionally it will catch itself though. Any ideas?

Any codes in the ECU? Could be the purge valve I've been talking about in this thread, you should look it up. I wouldn't be surprised if Mitsubishi used the same crappy valve for both the Evo and RA.
